A social phenomenon commonly found in the Seattle area. It concludes the majority of Seattle residents as snobby, cold, unfriendly people with a fake-polite exterior. Many people move here with the impression that Seattleites are friendly and laid-back but upon moving quickly realizing how superficial and forced that "friendly" exterior really is. There is alot of debate as to where this social dysfunction comes from. Some say it's the nerdy tech population, some say it's the scandinavian culture, some say it's the weather, and some even say it's the transplants fault.
Transplant: Hey have you heard of the seattle freeze?
Local: No. People here aren't unfriendly. Maybe the problem is you.
Transplant: Let's hang out sometime.
Local: Umm.... I have that thing at the place at that time.

When you're in a Seattle coffee shop, and you order a ridiculous amount of drinks, a male barista ejaculates into one (or multiple depending how pissed off he is) of your drinks in the kitchen, and then continues to mix it up, giving the creamer look. Usually served hot.
Chance: Can I get 3 caramel macchiatos, 2 pieces of lemon bread, a smoothie, and a caramel frappachino with a pump of vanilla?
*Barista takes, and gives the order*
*I take a sip of the frappachino*
Chance: "Ewwww, this tastes all thick and sticky"
Andrew: "Yeah, mine to"
James: "He probably put some Seattle Creamer in our drinks"
Brian: "Yeah, you can see the semen floating in it"

A term applied to woke beta males in Seattle who have a strong sexual preference for persons experiencing homelessness. Typically advocating to keep homeless encampments in their neighborhood and will fight any type of encampment removal as it would remove their sexual partners from their local area. They will distribute 2-person tents during mutual aid activities to facilitate future intercourse. When confronted about their fetish, they will claim their accuser lacks compassion, is privileged and ask "where will they go". It can also be used in reference to females who prefer men who are experiencing homelessness as well.
Tell Sean to quiet down in her tent, we all know he has the Seattle fetish, but there's a rec soccer game I'm trying to watch.

A basketball team that Howard Schultz once bought and later sold. He wanted to preserve them for Seattle, and thanks to his qualities as a leader, they are now based in Oklahoma City and are using a different name.
Let's hope that Howard, king of the smoothies, slurpees and coffee flavored milk, can handle his other businesses as well as he handled the Seattle SuperSonics.

The often talked about rarely seen style of smoking a joint which has origins in the greater Seattle, Washington area. The user instead of lighting simply one end of the cannabis roll, instead lights both ends and continues to smoke as per the norm. This is usually done when already incredibly ripped as it one of the lesser intelligent things to do. Users of this style of smoking are commonly seen wearing dark lens glasses and a beanie as well as other black/grey clothes. Users often enjoy nirvana, rain and overcast.

It's not that people here are unfriendly, they will hold the door for you and wave you into traffic and stuff like that, it's that everything is maddeningly impersonal. The attitude is "have a nice day, somewhere else". It's easy to get along but making friends is almost impossible. People will say they want to hang out with you sometime and look at you like a freak when you actually suggest something. People enthusiastically say they are coming to a party then don't show up. People are flaky and hard to pin down. Girls lead you on for weeks and snub you with no explanation. People are insincere. Norms of social interaction don't apply here. Most people don't like or dislike you, they're totally indifferent. Every interaction will be maddeningly superficial.
I was a popular guy at my highschool in another state. I had plenty of friends, dated regularly, and was outgoing enough to make new friends easily at parties. I went to college in Seattle and didn't make a single friend for over six months. I would go weeks with nothing more than idle chit-chat. Friends from highschool less popular than me were off having the time of their lives in other schools. The next year (my sophmore year) I was in a dorm with a bunch of freshman athletes from other states. We hit it off instantly and became close friends. We threw our own parties, we helped eachother with schoolwork, we would hang out and just enjoy the company, I dated one of the hotter girls. It was a normal college experience, and only because there were enough people from out of town who actually wanted to make friends.
Every. Single. One. of the people I know who re-located here from another state will tell you it's hard to make friends here. They may not know the term "Seattle Freeze" but they well know the phenomenon. The only people who will deny it grew up here, and even many of them acknowledge it.
